Listen "EP20: Rebuilding Vancouver: Inside the City's New Playbook for Builders"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, the federal budget has dropped and with billions promised for housing and infrastructure, the City of Vancouver is watching closely. We hear from the City's planning leaders on why federal investment is critical to unlocking non-market (affordable) housing and the infrastructure needed to support it. They share what's encouraging in this year's budget and what's still needed to turn ambition into action - alongside Vancouver's ongoing efforts to modernize zoning, digital permitting, and its new city-wide Official Development Plan. Hosted by Craig Larkins, with VRCA President and guest co-host Jeannine Martin. Take a seat on the bench — where construction conversations happen.
